- DJdrew jettFeb 6, 20255.0Had an awesome experience on multiple occasions. I had an internation package that was stuck in a loop between STL and O'fallon USPS. It was shipped back and forth 9 different times until the New Athens Postmaster put a hold on the package and picked it up herself. She went up and beyond!
- TTThorneAug 5, 20211.0These people are the absolute worst. Claim they knock when they drop off packages but don’t, then get caught on our Ring camera. The hours are ridiculous. What local post office needs an hour and a half lunch break then close a couple hours later? My packages are always lost or extremely delayed. I can go on. -Lauren Funk
